NAR Email Re: 60 Minutes

By: Cathy Clark
Monday, May 14, 2007 7:35 PM

Just got an email from NAR.  You probably all received it, as well, asking us to respond to CBS. The only reason I'm posting on this?  NAR has decided to chime in. Here's my response (and, yes, I did click "send"):

"A little slow on the uptake, NAR?  Where have you been all day (and last night)?
I will not respond to CBS, or Ms. Stahl, because I think that's what they want and we would be playing into their hands.  I don't need to defend what I do for a living.  I provide a service that my clients value enough to pay me. 
The report was obviously quite biased and poorly researched.  Not too many people actually saw it....Poor 60 Minutes....it's a dinosaur.  The fact that NAR is requesting it's members contact CBS is actually quite bizarre to me.  Are you really that scared?
I would encourage that you not respond because it was so frivolous and not up to the standards of the 60 Minutes  I recall.  That would be why I stopped watching....10 years ago.  I have heard from NOONE today who saw this report.  Contacting CBS only lends credence to the report by NAR members.  We're the only ones who seem to have watched it!
Enough said.
Catherine M. Clark"
 
Fellow "Relibbers"......we do not need to give this any more lip service on this forum, to CBS, or NAR.  I did add a few things here that I didn't send to NAR but wished I had.  Nonetheless,  I got my point across to NAR.
 
No Comments requested or required.  This horse is d....e.....a....d......DEAD.
 
Dancing with the Stars is on!! Gotta Go!
 
Yours Truly,
Catherine M. Clark (aka, Cathy....or Sister Catherine Mary)

Cathy, you hit the horse right on the head. The NAR was way behind on this and made it into much more than it deserved to be. Dance away!

You are absolutely right on all counts.  I pay very little attention to what the media has to say about the real estate market. I didn't see 60 minutes thank goodness. I'd rather be paying attention to what my clients need.

I agree with you. It is best to ignore something like this. Protesting may draw more attention to it than it deserves.

And another good thing. It came on early on Mothers Day Sunday. And another blogger hit it before, saying that how many times have we seen attacks to other industries. Agreed.

Heads in the sand. We're experts at ignoring the public's wish that we modify our business model to mirror their concerns. Gulp!

Cathy, I am totally with you! You should become a NAR member to represent the "True image of Realtors"!!

Diana,  My comment is about the bias and poor research and presentation of the report, not the subject matter.

Now you did it, Diana! That should make this tread too hot for me. Where did Dr. Phil go?
